Muse

Sylvia Borges is a director, screenwriter, and script consultant, who is based in Cologne. She has done both mainstream indie films whilst also branching her expertise and talent into the porn industry. Sylvia Borges has been working as a freelance writer and director for advertising, TV and independent artistic projects since she graduated in screenwriting and film directing. For a long time, Sylvia had wanted to make a feature film about the porn scene and how our society deals with porn. Realising that she had to experience some things for herself before she could write about them, she contacted one of the pioneers of feminist porn: Erika Lust. Shortly after, she shoots her first pornographic film with them. We are happy and proud to have her as writer, producer, and director for the first CHEEX Original: Muse.

The Berlin-based art director Charlotte Kuhrt is not only an advocate for new body images, fat acceptance, and self-love on the web, but also looks back on many years of experience in the fashion industry as a plus size model. With her wide-reaching community on Instagram and in her Podcast, she talks primarily about topics such as self-care, mindfulness and fatphobia, as well as fashion and lifestyle topics. While doing so she is also committed to making more social spaces accessible for fat people. As an art director, Charlotte is rethinking issues like diversity and plus size fashion with her clients. We are honored to have Charlotte as the art director of Muse and to benefit from her body awareness and endless creativity.

Puck’s name stands for both birth and continuing lust. Whether in front of or behind the camera, eroticism plays a central role in Puck’s life. In addition to their work as a tattoo artist, they launched in 2017 as a multi-faceted sex artist and performer (on stage as well as on screen), filmmaker, and author. They describe themself as a ‘professional erotic cherub’. Since 2020 Puck is experiencing a small revival in the Berlin sex scene, not least through Muse.

Romy Alizée is a Greek-French artist, photographer, and sex worker from Paris. From a young age, she was fascinated by images of naked actors and actresses and always wanted to work as a performer herself. During her training as an actress in Paris, she posed as an erotic model for many photographers. These modeling experiences became a starting point for her own photographic work. In her photography she creates playful, frontal (self-)portraits in silver, black and white. She likes to stage people who are close to her, including queer activists, trans people, and sex workers. Her encounters with people from the alternative porn and lesbian world inspired her to appear in porn films herself.
